The gist

That's So Cincinnati is a conversational Cincinnati Inquirer show built around local people, local arguments, and the stories everyone in town is already talking about. It moves from Reds roster moves to Pike County courtroom evidence, then back to burgers, creators, utilities, and college basketball without losing its neighborhood footing.

About That's So Cincinnati

That's So Cincinnati turns Cincinnati Inquirer reporting into a brisk, locally rooted conversation. It is not locked to one lane. Sports, restaurants, crime coverage, energy bills, content creators, public records, television food competitions, and college basketball all show up because all of them belong to the same civic map. The show is strongest when it lets that map stay messy. A Reds segment can move from clubhouse personality to lineup construction. A UC basketball conversation can use a Bob Huggins documentary to talk about legacy, controversy, loyalty, and what people decide to leave in the frame. The hosts do not smooth every edge. They ask direct questions, stop for context, and let guests explain how a story actually came together. That matters in the Pike County special edition, where the conversation shifts away from the usual Cincinnati format and into testimony, crime scenes, legal documents, photography restrictions, and the difficulty of telling a violent case fairly. It also matters in lighter episodes. Zip's Cafe's 100th anniversary becomes a story about running a neighborhood institution, not just celebrating an old restaurant. Elise Jesse's path from sports anchor to Next Level Chef contestant becomes a conversation about vulnerability, cooking online, and the strange pressure of showing a private skill in public. Amy Spiller brings the show into utility regulation, PJM, winter bills, and the complicated machinery behind household costs. Cincy Scoop brings it back to local enthusiasm, rankings, and the way Cincinnati now talks about itself online. The tone is casual, but the frame is editorial. It gives listeners names, stakes, and next steps without turning every topic into a formal explainer. The result is a Cincinnati show that feels close to the block and close to the newsroom at the same time.

Made for: For Cincinnati-area listeners who follow local news, Reds talk, neighborhood restaurants, civic business, and the personalities shaping the region. It also fits former locals who want the town's week explained in a familiar, conversational way.

What sets it apart: The show mixes reporter access with local shorthand, so interviews feel less like promotional stops and more like a newsroom sorting out what matters. Its range is unusually broad, moving comfortably from serious crime reporting to burgers, baseball, energy policy, and creators.
